Aghpar - This is used mostly in Syria and Lebanon and it's just a corrupted version of the word "yeghpayr". Used the same way Hayastantsis use "axper".
Aghparig (not Apareek) - This is used when you want to be cute with a child and nothing else.
**Note Yeghpayr remains the most used word from these three and is the only one you will find in literature, barring someone using "aghpar" in a dialogue or something.**
Peace -LOL this is a funny word...it's also very verbal and slang. "Kesh" remains the most commonly used word. You won't find "peace" anywhere in literature and a good portion of people don't even know what it means.
Bedkaran (not bekeran) - This is a common word and is used as much as "paghnik" except it's employed differently. When someone says "bedkaran bedk e yertam", they mean they need to go to the bathroom. When they say "paghnik", they often mean they wanna take a bath/shower.
Pari yegar/pan me che - These are used much more than "khntrem" from what I've seen and heard around. I use "pan me che" more than those two for sure. Nevertheless, "khntrem" remains the most respectful way of replying.
